Download and install Movie Rotator.

Once Movie Rotator has installed run it by selecting it from the Start menu, or clicking on the desktop shortcut if you opted to create a desktop shortcut during installation. Movie Rotator will then start up, it looks like this:

Now click the file open button and select the Quicktime movie MOV file you want to rotate with the file open dialog. You can also drag and drop the movie into Movie Rotator to open it. Once you've opened the Quicktime video, press the or buttons to rotate the movie clockwise or anti-clockwise respectively. You can test the rotation effect by playing the movie with the button.

Once you're happy with the rotation, you can save it with the button. Your movie is now rotated, you can open it with Quicktime Player, or some other movie player, and it will now play the correct way up.
